Li Gouwa asked in surprise: "What's the matter, Da Niu, do you know Miss Xiu?" ”

Jin Daniu nodded hurriedly: "Let me tell you, I met a noble girl in Suzhou City when I was doing business, and she is Miss Su." ”

Su Xiujin put a large pot of steaming cabbage stewed vermicelli on the table, and laughed at herself: "Brother Jin is serious, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, and now I am not the noble girl in your mouth." ”

Jin Daniu didn't understand, although he didn't know Su Xiujin's identity, he could also see that Su Xiujin was a beautiful lady, how could he be dressed in linen clothes at his uncle's house?

He hesitated and just wanted to ask, but Su Xiujin bowed slightly, turned around and lifted the curtain and entered the house, women are not allowed to share the table with men, she and Aunt Li can only eat in the back kitchen.

Jin Da Niu sat down if he was lost, Li Gouwa hooked his shoulders and asked, "Da Niu, you are very familiar with this girl?" ”

Old man Li glanced at his son, sighed, and told Jin Da Niu about saving Su Xiujin's mother and daughter in distress last night, Jin Da Niu listened to it tightly, Su Xiujin said that it was a family in distress, and she took her mother to her sister with her family, but she was afraid that it was a lot of inconvenience on the road, and she also suffered a lot.

Jin Da Niu's meal tasted like chewing wax, and the rare and sumptuous meal on the table failed to arouse his interest, thinking of Su Xiujin in his heart, a trace of bitterness churned in his throat, he didn't know what was wrong with him.

Aunt Li gave Su Xiujin a cornmeal bun, and took a small bowl with a bowl of vermicelli, and she was breaking the black bun and drinking the soup, Su Xiujin's heart was sour, the cornmeal bun in her hand was like a thousand jun, if it was in the Su family, this cornmeal bun was for the next person to eat, she asked Aunt Li, this black bun is made of sorghum noodles and stick noodles, if you don't drink water, even your throat hurts when you swallow it.

Su Xiujin broke the cornmeal bun into half, and when Aunt Li put down the bowl to add firewood, she replaced the black bun in her bowl with the cornmeal bun, and the remaining half, Su Xiujin soaked in the vermicelli soup, leaned against the wall, and slowly drank the black bun, the black bun was really difficult to swallow, and the taste was very bad.

Aunt Li gave the fourth aunt a bowl of vermicelli soup and a bowl of radish soup, plus a cornmeal bun, Su Xiujin carefully broke the bun for the fourth aunt, Aunt Li looked back and saw half a cornmeal bun on the stove, and immediately shouted: "Miss Xiu, what are you doing!" "Look at your black bun again, it's gone, the visitor is a guest, where can you let the guests eat the black bun?

Su Xiujin said loudly through the window: "Auntie, Xiujin really can't eat it." ”

Aunt Li looked at most of the buns in the bowl and sighed, "This stupid girl." ”

The fourth aunt in the house covered her hand and said, "Jin'er, haven't you eaten?" ”

Su Xiujin smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry, mother, I've eaten a big bowl." But he kept his mouth shut about the black bun.

The fourth aunt looked at the smile on Su Xiujin's face, and knew that she couldn't resist her, so she swallowed the bun in small bites, just begging not to drag down her daughter.

"When we have dinner, let's leave at noon, I asked my aunt, there are still three or four days to Jinju City, we don't have much money, we can't hire a carriage, and we have to go to Jinju with my mother."

The fourth aunt looked at the sensible girl with teary eyes, "Don't be wronged, don't be wronged, it's useless for your mother, she always drags you down." ”

Su Xiujin pursed her lips, to be honest, it is really unsafe for their mother and daughter to go on the road, although there is an official road from Suzhou to Jingzhou, but it is inevitable that there will be any accidents on the way, and the two of them are powerless, she originally wanted to go on the road alone and leave the fourth aunt in the Li family, but seeing that the Li family is not rich, if the fourth aunt knows, I am afraid that I will not be able to rest assured.

After Jin Da Niu finished eating, he saw the old man Li squatting on the steps and smoking dry cigarettes, the dry smoke smoke circle blurred the face of the old man Li, Jin Da Niu also followed the old man Li squatting in front of the house, and after a while, Li Gouwa hurriedly ran with a broom, and said in his mouth: "Big Niu, I just heard the show girl in front of the window saying that she would leave at noon!"

Jin Da Niu stood up suddenly: "What? Where is she going? ”

"She said she was going to Jinju to find her sister, Jinju is hundreds of miles away from here!"

Old man Li shook his head: "Although there is an official road, but the landslide at the Guanshan Pass was sealed a few days ago, and even the path is not accessible now." ”

Where can Jin Da Niu still bear it, when his father was still there, he often said that the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring, and Su Xiujin is a great benefactor for him!

Jin Da Niu turned around and ran into the house, causing Li Gouwa to shout: "Da Niu, what are you going to do?" ”

"Miss Su! Miss Sue! Jin Da Niu stood outside the curtain and shouted, and after a while, Su Xiujin lifted the curtain and came out, and Aunt Li also came out and asked, "Da Niu, what are you calling Xiu girl?" ”

"Miss Su, you two can't go to Jinzhou City now, the Guanshan Pass is landslided, and if you get through, I'm afraid it will only take a month or two."

Su Xiujin frowned, she didn't know, "Isn't there a path?" ”

Jin Daniu said: "The path has also been blocked. “

Su Xiujin pursed her lips, if she couldn't go to the fourth sister, how could she be good.

Who knew that Jin Da Niu took out fifty yuan from his arms, and Li Gouwa on the side widened his eyes, "Da Niu, this is the money you just sold your prey." “

Jin Da Niu said without hesitation: "If the money is gone, you can earn it again, and I can also fight this prey." Miss Su, you helped me like that, and I have nothing to repay you, in the next two months, I will think of going to Jinzhou to report to you, you take the money first, your uncle's family can't live, and I will find you a place for your mother and mother to settle down. “

When she said this, Aunt Li couldn't help but spit, "Da Niu, what are you talking about?!" She also took Su Xiujin's hand and said, "Don't worry, Miss Xiu, you live here, I'll let my kid sleep in the firewood room, it's not a matter of one or two months." “

Li Gouwa nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, I'll sleep in the firewood room, and you and your mother can live with confidence." “

Old man Li took a sip of dry tobacco and said to Su Xiujin: "The road is not easy to walk, you better think about it in the long run." ”

Su Xiujin looked at this big family, how lucky she was, Su Xiujin folded her hands, folded them in front of her forehead, and slowly bent down, and made a big salute, "Thank you, uncle, aunt for helping each other, my Su Xiujin is unforgettable in this life." ”

The fourth aunt who heard the sound in the house also forcibly moved outside the house, leaning against the threshold to bow down, so Aunt Li hurriedly helped her.

Su Xiujin straightened up and said, "It's just that our mother and daughter still can't bother Aunt Uncle." “

Aunt Li hurriedly said, "Miss Xiu, what do you mean by this?" “
